30 January - 10 February 2004

SaNsA International Workshop was held at the Department of Painting & Sculpture,
College of Art, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi from 30 January to 10 February 2004.

SaNsA is part of the family of Triangle Workshops founded by Robert Loder, a British
patron of the arts, and Sculptor Anthony Caro. The Triangle Workshops started in New
York in 1982 to give artists the opportuntiy for uninterrupted periods of time in which to
work alongside artists from around the world.

The special nature of the Workshops has allowed for positive critical dialogue between
artists of different cultures. These Workshops have been successful all across Africa, the
Caribbean, Asia, America, Australia and Europe. This is the first time such a Workshop
has taken place in Ghana. So far, there has been a tremendous response from artists
here and abroad. SaNsA is proud to include the following artists:

Kwamivi Zewuze Adzraku (Ghana) Kwame Akoto - Almighty God (Ghana), Kevin
Amankwah - kari-kacha, (Ghana), lgnace K. Mensah (Cote d'lvoire), Felix Annor
Anim (Ghana), Ibn Pori Watts (USA), Leticia Azuru Avoka (Ghana), Ossei
Agyeman (Ghana), Bongi Bengu (South Africa), Pamela Clarkson (UK / Ghana),
Dilomprizulike - the Junkman of Afrika (Nigeria), Kweku Boafo Kissiedu (Ghana),
Atta Kwami (Ghana), Caterina Niklaus (Switzerland / UK), Samuel Komlan
Olou (Togo/Ghana), Samuel Opoku (Ghana), Lois Williams (Wales).

SaNsA is based on a concept of many pieces of different cloth -that are stitched together
to form a whole. It derives from the Asante word nsansaa and Ewe sasa denoting
diversity and unity - which is the theme of -our Workshop. Our mix of artists reflects a
diversity of approaches to art, encompassing street painting, international and
indigenous art practices. We hope to encourage innovative use of local materials.

Working Committee: Atta Kwami, Pamela Clarkson, Kevin Amankwah, Caterina Niklaus
